BosToN, Feb. 21.-The Cambridge
Railroad officers, In no way discouraged
by the events Of Sunday, ran their frst
car through East Cambridge this fore
noon without molestation. Doubtless
this freedom from interference was due
to the police arrangements, for there were
crowds enough along the streets 70 Lave
made serious trouble had there been only
. few scattered "blue coats" % on Sun
day.
The car had an officer on each plat
form, and there were mounted police In
front and on either side Of II. The car
passed along through the district where
the riot occurred yesterday without even
80 much a. shout greeting it. Officers
were posted ct almost every corner along
the route. At South Boston the first car
on the Bay View line, which route has
been closed since the strike began, was
started this morning.
Two policemen were carried as free
passengers, and the car WAS also accom-
panied by two mounted policemen. The
car was greeted at various points along
the route with yells and hCwls Of derision
by friends OF the strikers.
The hoodlums who attacked the Cam

TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Putt ng Live Goals 10 an Oid Mans reeI
to Get His Money.

DUBoIs, Pa, Feb. 81 John Bortmas,
aged seventy years, lives alone In small
house In Rockland township, Centre
county. He always keep several hundred
dollars secreted In his house. Between
eight and nine o'clock on Friday evening
Bortmas heard knock at his door. He
saw three men heavily masked standing
on the step They demanded entrance,
and Borimas got his shotgun and fred at
them. The shot did not take effect, aud the
men broke the door and knocked the old
man down.
They ordered him TO tell where hls
money was hid, but he refused. They
then put rope around his neck, threw II
over the top of door and pulled the old
man OF his feet by the rope. They hang
cd him in that way three times, but Bort
mas sfubbornly kept the secret OF his
money. Although almost dead after the
third hanging, the men restored him, and
then one Of them drew long bladed knife,
and SELLING Bortmas by the hair he jerked
his head back and placed the blade at the
old mans throat. Bortmas told the man
to cut his throat, but he would not give
up the money.
Falling to terrorize the old man, the
men took shovel, and heaping 1t full OF
live Goals, one of them held 1t TO the soles
of the old mans feet, while the other sat
en- his legs and so prevented his drawing
his feet away. This torture was more
than Bortmas could endure, and he beg
ged for mercy and told where the money
was. The robbers obtained $3l2, one
third of which was gold. They did not
believe this was all that Bortmas had, and
resorted to the torture of the Goals again
to force him to reveal the hiding place OF
the rest He protested under the torture
that he had no more and the robbers
finally ceased. Tying Bortmas TO bed
post the til ee men went into kitchen
where they cooked themselves hearty
supper and ate 1t at leisure. 1t was after
ten o'clock when they left People re-
turning from a party heard Bortmas
cries and released him. mo clue to the
robbers has been obtaiyed. Besides the
1912 they secured, Bortmas had $1,000
und,r the flooS within three feet of where
they tortured him. 1t is believed they
